Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced) – Perfect for using leftover or rotisserie chicken.
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese – Use a blend of cheeses if you like.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened) – Adds creaminess to the filling.
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted) – For sautéing garlic and enhancing flavor.
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced) – Fresh garlic offers the best, bold flavor.
  • 1/4 cup sour cream – Adds a tangy creaminess to the wrap.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder – To boost the garlic flavor.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning – A blend of herbs that adds depth.
  • 4 large tortillas – Choose flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free options.
  • Salt and pepper (to taste) – For seasoning.
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish) – Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Instructions

  • Prepare Garlic Chicken
    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Add the shredded or diced chicken, season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and stir to coat. Let it heat through for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Prepare the Cheese Mixture
    In a separate mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Combine Chicken with Cheese Mixture
    Remove the garlic chicken from the skillet and transfer it to the bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir until the chicken is fully coated and everything is well-combined.
  • Assemble the Wraps
    Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly divide the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
  • Fold and Toast the Wraps
    Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them up tightly into wraps. In a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat, cook each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  • Serve
    Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, garlicky bite!
